Use only 1/4” (6 mm) copper tubing for water
line. Do Not install copper tubing in area
where temperatures drop below
35° F (1.7° C). Before attaching copper tubing
to the unit, flush at least 2 quarts (1.9 L) of
water through the copper tubing and into a
bucket to remove any particles in the water
line.
• Viking Range, LLC is not responsible for
property damage due to improper
installation or water connection.
• Connect 1/4” (6 mm) flexible copper tubing
to household plumbing in compliance with
local codes and ordinances.
• Length of copper tubing must reach from
water supply connection to the unit
connection with an additional length to
facilitate moving the unit out of enclosure for
cleaning or service. Tubing should be soft
instead of rigid and ends should be free of
burrs.
• Copper tubing route must be above 35° F
(1.7° C) to prevent water line from freezing.
• Do not use plastic water lines from the
household plumbing to the water inlet valve
connection on the unit.
• Do not use the self-piercing feature of a
saddle valve. The hole made by the piercing
lance is too small for the water flow rate
required by the ice maker.
• If saddle valve is not used, place a separate
shut-off valve in an easily accessible location
between water supply and the unit. Do not
locate shut-off valve behind the unit.
• The installation of Viking units with a reverse
osmosis system is acceptable
as long as the water pressure remains within
the allowable PSI as stated below. It is
important to note that with many reverse
osmosis systems, the pressure starts off high,
but then it decreases as the water level of the
reverse osmosis storage area drops. This
must be considered when checking the water
pressure coming into the unit.
• Connect a vertical or horizontal 1/2”
(1.2 cm) to 1-1/4” (3.2 cm) COLD water line
near water area.
• Run water line through the floor, back, or
side wall. Tubing should lay flat on floor
underneath the unit. Clamp tubing to wall or
floor.
• Water pressure must be greater than 20 psi
and less than 120 psi on non-dispensers and
greater than 35 psi and less than 120 psi on
dispensers.
